Yoga Classes Outside in Wicker Park

All summer Bend Yoga and Movement will host a summer park series at Wicker Park. Bend will offer two classes a week in Wicker Park Wednesday 5:30-6:30pm and Saturday 10:30-11:30am, for $10 a class.

Many yoga students seek out outdoor classes so as to take advantage of every second of our Chicago Summer. Now they can! By getting out of the studio and into nature, you can experience yoga as it was originally intended. "Being outdoors gives you access to a whole other world of sensations. It helps you feel part of a boundless existence, at one with an intelligent and sympathetic universe," says Garrett Sarley Dinabandhu, president of the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Massachusetts's Berkshire Mountains. The pure unpredictability of being outside and exposed to the elements can strengthen an existing practice or inspire a new one, Dinabandhu says.
